Nursing is a highly specialized career field that requires top performance from its professionals. Del Mar College strives to provide the best nurse education in the state, and in doing so, seeks the most qualified applicants for its program. Admission requirements are set to provide the greatest possibility of success for students chosen for this program.
The philosophy of the Department of Nursing Education reflects the mission and purpose of Del Mar College. The faculty believes nursing is both an art and applied science that emphasizes the components of caring, communication, competence and clinical decision making. These components are the foundation in the philosophy used by the Department of Nurse Education and embedded throughout the curriculum. Nursing education respects the uniqueness of all members of the global community and accessibility for individuals of the diverse population of our service area. The Department of Nurse Education prepares graduates to collaborate with the patient to promote, attain, and/or maintain an optimal level of health or to die with dignity.
